Elvis is gone :(
.....and my heart is gone with him. I did take him to U of Penna. The
bottom line was that he was critically ill - his prognosis no matter what was poor. For them to keep him in the ER tonite and IF he lived the night, which they thought he may not, to transfer him to their ICU and do aggressive work on him would have been $3000-$4000. That was without a diagnosis, further treatment, surgery if necessary, and his prognosis was still poor. He was THAT sick. So I had to let him go. He was still purring, looking into my eyes & I was petting him telling him how much Ioved him. It was horrible. I feel so guilty. He trusted me and I let him go. They put him in a brown box and later today or tomorrow my husband will bury him with the other two I've lost in the last 4 years. I just would like to crawl in there myself. I guess I did what most people would have done but I still feel so guilty. I can't believe he's gone. I'm just going crazy now. Thank you all for your advice & good thoughts. Elvis was the sweetest cat. He was my buddy - always around me. I just don't know what I'm going to do without him. |
